DAVID COOTE has been banned from officiating by Uefa until 2026.
Coote, 42, was already sacked by the PGMOL in December following a “thorough investigation” into his conduct.

Now Uefa have hit him with a ban of their own, effective immediately and running until June 30, 2026.
Uefa revealed that Coote has been banned for “bringing the sport of football, and Uefa in particular, into disrepute”, as well as “violating the basic rules of decent conduct”.
The European football governing body opened an investigation into Coote following The Sun’s exclusive video of Coote snorting a white power while on duty at Euro 2024.
Coote’s ban means he can no longer officiate in the Nations League, Champions League, Europa League or Uefa Conference League.
